Loyal readers of the Record Radar may have noticed my absence the last few weeks, as I was leaving my beloved Sunshine State to move halfway across the country to Texas. In other words, I’ve got some catching up to do, starting with these big time Frenzal Rhomb reissues! Meet the Family and Not So Tough Now are both back in print for the first time in a long-ish time, and 1994’s Dick Sandwich EP is being released on vinyl for the first time ever. The color variants in the picture are available to pre-order from SBAM’s UK store and EU store. Our friends at Double Helix Records have some US-exclusive variants of Meet the Family and Not So Tough Now as well.

And because you can never have enough Frenzal Rhomb, here’s another yuge reissue from the Rhomb! A Man’s Not A Camel is being reissued in honor of its 25th anniversary (though technically the album is 26 this year ☝🤓) and you can get it now on emerald green and/or black vinyl right here. You may also notice the cover art is updated – and shittier! Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

The unlikely duo of MxPx and Direct Hit have teamed up for this split 7″ featuring the two bands’ kinda sorta unique takes on the same song. Available on two color variants – Javascript Splatter (black w/ mint green splatter) and Bionary Blue Splatter (transparent ice blue w/ black splatter) – on the MxPx Merch Arsenal.

Barcelona skate punks Fastloud‘s brand new album Rice Again!? is out now and available on three stunning vinyl color variants on the Punk Rock Radar webstore. These beauties are limited to 100 copies each, and you can also get them from Cat’s Claw Records in the UK, High End Denim Records in Canada, Morning Wood Records in the Netherlands, and in Spain from 20 Chords Records and Picnic Records. MR. WORLDWIDE!

The Offspring’s Americana has a new color variant – probably its 500th – limited to 500 copies on Red Smoke colored vinyl. Not much to say about this one! Get it here.

Dutch pop-punk favorites (they’re my favorite!) The Windowsill are reissuing their 2011 self-titled debut album. The record has been remastered and you can get it on two very limited color variants from Stardumb Records (EU), Brassneck Records (UK), The Machine Shop (US), and Endless Detention Records (AUS).

More Dutch pop-punk! The Apers’ 2003 album The Buzz Electric is back in print on this beautiful red w/ black smoke color variant with matching cover art. Once again, you can grab this one from Stardumb Records (EU), Brassneck Records (UK), The Machine Shop (US), and Endless Detention Records (AUS).

Kalamazoo, Michigan sci-fi / horror punk masters the Zoanoids are releasing a new compilation LP Grave Transmissions, featuring tracks from 7″ singles, splits, comps, etc. plus a brand new song called “Arecibo Incoming” and a couple other rarities. You can listen to the whole thing on their Bandcamp right now and pre-order it on beautiful clear(?) w/ purple splatter colored vinyl right here.

The most bad ass 90’s punk band to form in Maine and retire to Massachusetts, Doc Hopper’s 1996 album Zigs, Yaws & Zags is being released on vinyl for the first time ever thanks to Dead Broke Rekerds! Limited to 105 copies on Tangerine Dream colored vinyl and 210 copies on black wax. Featuring two bonus tracks – “Coffee Jerk” & “Turtleheadin”. Get it here!

You can get All Washed Up, But Still Stinkin’! on three color variants from The Punk Rock Museum’s online store. There are two variants exclusive to the museum’s on-site record store Vinyl Threat, including a “Jason Sears Memorial Version” filled with the singer’s ashes (this seems to be a somewhat troubling theme lately with these boutique variants).
